Naomi
Hi, my name is Naomi Soman, and I am happy to tutor for Varsity Tutors. I study English literature and philosophy, so reading and writing are my strongest suits, but I am glad to help in any of my listed subjects. Please send me a message to let me know how I can be of assistance!

...methods of explaining the same problem. This skill helps me to find the most efficient descriptions of processes based on the student. Different people need different explanations for the same material. This has been proven time and time again from my helping with Calculus as a teacher’s assistant to Statistics; as a teacher at the college level to helping children learn fractions. My wish is to help students build a confidence through what they know...

...with an advanced certificate in Finance. I now work at M&T Bank as a Credit Analyst. I aspire to start my own business next year. I try to put effort into improving at everything that I do because I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I am from Chicago, Illinois but now live in Buffalo, New York. I am current freshman Civil Engineering major with a double minor in Mathematics and Spanish at the University of Delaware. I love to travel, learn, play sports, and help people. I have tutored for almost 4 years now and can definitely help anyone who needs it, especially in Math and Spanish. ... My teaching philosophy is based off what the tutee needs help with. I am a very flexible person and can adapt to any style that someone wants. Overall, I believe that as a teacher, my philosophy is to be insightful and to go at whatever pace the tutee wants to be able to get him/her to fully understand the material.

...taught calculus courses at the college level multiple times, and I thoroughly enjoyed it each time. I believe that understanding how students learn mathematics is essential to teaching and tutoring mathematics. There are many different forms of teaching. I feel that I'm a great tutor because I try to understand how each student learns and then shape my instruction in such a way that will promote that student's understanding. I am always looking for new...

...for science in general. My particular strengths lie in the hard sciences, though I am also perfectly apt to prepare you or your son/daughter for many forms of standardized testing, as well as mathematics and subject-tests. I believe that the educational experience works best if customized for each individual student, therefore I like to build lesson and study plans around the needs of each one. In my free time I am also a part-time waiter...

Caroline
...all ages struggle with material at some point in their academic careers. I believe we learn best from teachers we feel genuinely care about us and our success. As an instructor, I work to build strong relationships with my students to better motivate them and get them excited about and invested in their work. In addition to guiding students towards a clearer understanding of material, I simultaneously work to impart the importance of non-cognitive skills....

...to the experience of knowledge, including to and not limited to the English Language, reading, writing, and effective communication in any situation, mode, or medium. My goal as an educator is to bring knowledge-gaining experiences to students in such a way that necessary skills are transferred to multiple areas, thus promoting deeper cognitive ties. Lastly, my hope is for all students to love words and the power, responsibility, and gifts they bring.

I'm currently an undergraduate student at the University of Rochester hoping to double major in Molecular Genetics & International Relations, on a premed track.

I concentrated in American and ancient history, especially the rise and fall of great powers throughout world history. I also like to say I am...
